Individually arrangedShift Left in the Organization Training
The Shift Left in the Organization training, extended with Shift Left Security elements, aims to introduce practices that allow earlier detection of errors and issues, both related to software quality and security. Shift Left focuses on moving testing and other quality and security processes to earlier stages of the software development cycle, contributing to cost reduction, risk minimization, and improved final product quality.
Who is this training for?
Software developers who want to integrate quality and security practices at the coding stage-
Testers and QA engineers who want to move testing to earlier project stages and apply advanced security testing techniques
-
Security specialists who want to effectively implement Shift Left Security practices and minimize risk at every stage of the software lifecycle
-
IT managers and technical team leaders who want to implement a strategic Shift Left and Shift Left Security approach in their teams
-
Software and systems architects who want to design secure and scalable systems from the ground up following the “security by design” principle
-
DevOps and DevSecOps specialists who want to integrate quality and security testing in CI/CD processes and monitor environments for risks
-
Product Owners and business analysts who want to better formulate requirements in accordance with quality and security principles
-
Compliance officers who want to support regulatory compliance, such as GDPR or PCI DSS, from the early stages of a project
-
Newcomers in DevOps, QA, and security who want to gain solid foundations and practical skills in these areas
What You Will Learn
- By integrating quality and security aspects, the Shift Left and Shift Left Security training enables effective creation of high-quality software that is also secure and compliant from the very beginning of the development cycle.
